Jimin’s “Who” Debuts at #1 on the UK Official Radio Big Top 40 Chart – 210724

Amazing news, well done Jimin!

Wooo go Jimin!!🥳

Does that mean it’s actively being played on radio? Good job, UK!

This is amazing! And honestly unexpected after 2 days! Very proud of us UKmy this week. A UK BTS twitter group has recently started organising stream and listening parties and it’s really paying off.

For anyone asking about radio play/what this chart means…

This is the second and smaller of the UK’s two music charts. It’s run by our two largest commercial radio networks and runs Sunday – Saturday tracking. ‘Who’ doesn’t appear to be on their radio playlists for last week, so it’s possible this has reached it based on 2 x days of iTunes and Apple activity but I imagine the radio playlist resets with a new chart and as it’s #1 it will likely get play now.

Criteria is apparently:

> The chart is compiled based on iTunes sales, Apple Music streams, and radio airplay from the stations that broadcast the show. The algorithm differs to that of the Official UK Singles Chart, which includes physical sales, as well as downloads and streaming from all sources, but does not take radio airplay.

According to the Official Chart trending news (our main chart which happens on Friday, and which counts physicals, downloads, streams) Jimin is currently only 100 chart units behind Jade from Little Mix, so they’re in a battle for #2 in that chart.

Sabrina carpenter is apparently a sure thing for #1 already, sadly.

congrats chim!
